This is a new success but I thought it was worth sharing. I am a re-tread to McDougall. during the past 15 years or so, I have wavered between High protein/low carb and this program. I have had many stomach issues, and have been diagnosed with a fungus infection, SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth), etc.. The diets recommended by doctors have been low carb and high protein, although I didn't go full tilt all out high fat. Well, the pain has been getting worse and worse and I swore it was gas - including in my shoulder. At the risk of TMI, I have always had a problem with gas. I have never, in my 65 years, been able to burp. I walk around gassy and with an upset stomach all the time. This has really started to interfere with my quality of life and has put my exercise to a minimum.
Well, last Sunday, I was in total despair. I had downloaded the Digestive Tuneup to my Kindle a while back so I decided to re-read it. As a result, I went back to the program. Well, each day has been a little better. Today, day 5, I was sitting and minding my own business, when a feeling came up from my toes. I opened my mouth, feeling as if I was going to throw up, and a sound came out of my mouth that I have only admired in other people. So much air came out that I had to hold on to my chair. I BURPED! (I think "belched" is a more accurate term.)
The point is, I don't have a stomach ache! For the first time in years, I am pain free. After only 5 days! I want to cry and had to share because I don't think anyone else can understand. Thanks for listening.
Happy belching! So glad you are feeling better. Keep it up!
